Question

A sheet of bad paper is cut into 12 equal parts. What percent of the whole is 3 parts?

Answer 1

25%

Divide 12 by 3 and you'll get 4.
That means 1/4 or a quarter of the 12 is 3.
(Convert the fraction to its percentage form)
1/4 or 1 divided by 4 equals 0.25
Multiply 0.25 by 100 and you'll get 25%

Answer 2

Answer: 3/12 = 1/4 = 25%
